wear rOse-pink tulle, making the tab
leau at the altar white and rose, instead
of the white and gold groups seen last
year. Faille Franchise, with thick reps,
yet very soft and as lustrOus
as satin, is chosen by brides
of conservative taste, and is
draped with ValencienneS or Brussels
lace. MOire, with frost-like surface,
takes the place of brocade for very
handsome dresses, and may be used
with its surface merely marked by
large ripples. or else with stripes and
balls of satin. The skirt of the bridal
dress has full flowing train of four or
five breadths entirely without trimming,
and so well lined and mounted over
crinOline, steel, balayeuse, ETC., that a
trained petticOat is not needed beneath
it. The front breadthS are newly ar
ranged in deep shirring at the top,
falling straight to the foot, where
flOunce of lace is set on as a
border, without a fullneSS, or else
LACE FLOUNCES
may be gathered across the foot of a
gored skirt, and above these will be a
breadth of the satin or silk, with selv-
ages showing, for drapery at the top.
Wide Isle or lace fronts fall straight,
and are lifted on one side or both by a
bouquet of orange blossoms or by a clus-
ter of bows of MORE ribbon, set close to-
gether in a row. The pointed front of
the basque is draped with lace, two
lengths of a f1Ounce being set on thetop
with the scallOped edges meeting. This
lace may be gathered into the shoulders,
having a V-Shaped opening Oh the
neck, or it may be gathered high at the
throat, the ScallOpS meeting at the top,
inA MI nd
tucked into a half girdle below, or else
it may meet reverS turned over on bias
fronts of the dress goods, which begin
in the under arm seams just below the
arm-hOleS, and are laced together in the
middle, or may be tapered to point,
and have tapping ends held by a jew
eled clasp, a cluster of bows, or a
bouquet. The lace sleeves are full, and
are in two slight puffs from the top to
the elbows. The only flowers are
those of the cOrSage and a
single cluster on the skirt. The
traditional wreath of orange blossoms is
revived at English weddings, and the
tulle veil is arranged to fall merely at
the back, without draping the sides or
yelling the face. The gloves of un-
dressed kid are long enough to meet the
sleeves, and are worn more smoothly on
the arms than they were formerly. The
orange blossom has again asserted its
supremacy as the flower above all others
for bridal uses. For several seasons
past various kinds of white flowers have
been in use, and have been considered
quite as much the thing as the orange
blossoms, but custom again brings them
to the fore as the flowers that Hymen
specially delights to honor.
IN THE COURSE OF SHOPPING
Yesterday | chatted with a woman clerk,
a very intelligent person, about the ex-
perienceS of girls in employment along
side of men in offices and stores. She
said: ''My young friends whom ambi-
ton and need have forced to try life side
by side with men in shops and Offices do
not tell such a rosy and archaeological
story of the consequences. They
do tell of an awfully queer Sc
lection of topics out of the newspapers
made by the male clerks in their pres
ence every day and discussed with no
end of winkS and shrugs and words
with double meanings and sentiments
of doubtful purpose. Miss -, what
would you do if the duke of Marlbor-
Ough called on yOu?' is question that
one employer asked a young woman
who worked by his side as a stenog-
rapher the other day. The tone and
manner were in keeping with the
words"
In millinery the displays in the stores
are particularly fine and attractive. The
favOrite hat, however, is the Boulanger,
made of velvet to match the costume.
1t is usually trimmed very high on the
side, with a cluster of ostrich tips or
crown-edged ribbon and broad. tall
wings grouped together. Most of the
models in hats and bonnets are made of
plain velvets or plush, or of lace
over some bright color. Glittering
tinsels, pOmpOns and aigretteS are
largely used for dressy effects;
in fact, everything bearing on the gold,
silver, or iridescent effect will be very
much used in the trimmings of hats and
bonnetS this season. All the prevailing
shades in dress goods repeat themselves
in millinery. Ribbons, silks, pushes,
velvets, feathers, ETC., all have the iri-
descent effect, which is particularly
charming. In some of these goods blue
shades to poppy-red, heliotrOpe to
bronze, emerald green to gold. Hats
are larger, but lower in crowns.

of ways. The bOnnetS have wider brim
